How to Apply

Apply directly to the lips using the doe-foot applicator. For a soft, sheer ‘just-bitten’ flush, apply one layer to the centre of the lips and blend outward with fingertips or a lip brush. For full vivid cherry red intensity, apply evenly across the full lip in one or two layers, allow each layer to set briefly before building. For the classic Korean ‘gradient lip’ look, concentrate the colour on the inner lips and blend outward, leaving the outer edges slightly sheerer for a dimensional, ombre effect. The tint component will stain the lips for lasting colour retention. Can be worn alone or layered with a clear lip gloss for extra dimension and shine.
